Some artist told me to use A&D ointment. Another told me not to use A&D ointment and to use lotion instead. And then another told me to use the most expensive Aveeno I could find. Seems the right way to someone else the the wrong way to another. So what’s IS the best way to take care of a tattoo?

Is there something that i can rub on or take for pain before getting my new tattoo, like pain killers? Getting a new tattoo on my side and heard that people say its very painful…Any advice or tips will help please!

I will be 5 months preg on Thursday (yeah- I asked another question a sec ago) and was wondering WHEN I need to take out the piercing in my belly button? I intend on asking the doctor as well, but wondered when you had to take yours out?
Thanks!
